Anne Franks Diary - yes the actual diary - who knew it was a darling book covered in Red plaid

emails from Harold and his wife checking in on us, we will meet them for dinner next week.

yummy waffels and dark wonderful chocolate

when you ask the girls their favorite part so far - playing at the park and hanging out at the apartment we rented in Amersterdam - kids!

We are off to France tomorrow to spend a week in Paris. (oh my did I just type that?- this is a dream) The girls can't wait while Jeff and I have died and gone to Heaven as we discovered Brugge, Belgium and could live here forever!

oh have fun and enjoy! we are planning the same trip for the spring... my hubby wants to see the tulips --- post the details when you get back- i'd love to stick them in our travel file...soak it all in!Melissa

so fun! i hope you continue to have a wonderful time! some of my most favorite memories are from these places! enjoy them and "lock it in"! and don't miss les jardin de tulieries! your girls will love it! and it is a great spot to see the eiffel tower light up the city at night! oh, europe...how lovely!

Such a wonderful trip, and we will be very interested in all of the places you visit. I love Vermeer paintings, and I hope to be able to see some of the places you have visited. Give big loves to the girls, and hope the rest of your trip is as great. Love you all....
